it'll be interesting to see how brendan rogers does in the next few years, see if he can establish them in the premier league.
20% fan-owned btw, lots to admire about them imo.
joe allen's a really interesting player, much younger than britten.

I really haven't seen much of Swansea this year but, ya, Britton shone and it's exactly the sort of thing that's missing in Utd's midfield. I'm not even sure it's a lack of ability in our current players but rather a lack of intelligence.
Utd do not control games in the way they did when they had midfielders who were fleet of foot and mind.
It's a shame Britton is that bit old for Utd to consider. Allen did not look as good to me but then he's so much younger.
I'm still not sure the problem is so much the personnel as the coaching/attitude at Utd. They seem to be fixated on elaborate dribbling in risky parts of the field - Evra being a prime example. It's bizarre because Utd's ability to move between gears was usually built on a range of accurate passing keeping those sort of skills in reserve for the final third.
